I have an inout form which populates todays date automatically through the ‘today’ function. This is the date on which the form was generated & signed.
This form is then sent to other departments on subsequent days who check, print, process etc the form. The date changes to the current date on whichever date the form is opened for processing/printing etc.
Is there a way that I can force the date to remain as it was populated & not recalculate itself on subsequent days. I have tried ‘mid’ & ‘parse’ without success.
Anyone know the answer – I dont want to use macros, just formulae.
You’re going to need VBA for this I think. There is a sort-of formula approach, but it requires your users to change some calculation options in Excel…
